20GRIT volunteering to help future of sound techs!
Building 6500. It is located adjacent to the main parking lot, which is the
2nd entrance with the marquis.
If weather permits, audio technology will have a sound system set up out in front of the building when 20GRIT arrive. If weather sucks, audio technology will move it indoors.
Once 20GRIT are all set up, audio technology will dial 20GRIT mix in and demonstrate to the students what instructor expect’s from them.
Then he will zero out the console and each student will talk to 20GRIT and run a soundcheck.
They will set the house mix first then dial in your monitors. then we will have you play a song while they refine their mix the instructor will listen and critique and grade their skills and then we do it all again with the next student.
There are 8 students and this is the last advanced class before they get their Certification in Audio Technology.
This is the future of sound techs that 20GRIT are helping out. should be done by 2pm, but have booked til 3pm just in case.
20GRIT will always be honored to help future musicians and technicians
to succeed thank you very much sincerely 20GRIT Band!

Rockbar Theater. San Jose, California
Tommy preformed the guitar competition.
On June 27th, 2015 Rockbar opened its doors to some of the finest guitar players in the San Jose, California Bay area. Contestants got to show their talents on guitar and battle Satan Guitar Soul Collecting Fury for a grand prize of cool stuff and guitar glory celebrity rockers and guitar Gods were on hand to judge the guitar competition, lending there insight and expertise in all there respected areas.
The judging panel consisted:
1. Jake E. Lee Badlands, Red Dragon Cartel and Ozzy Osbourne.
2. Eddie Trunk That Metal Show.
3. Susan Cramer Owner of Rockbar Theater.
4. Warren DeMartini Ratt.
5. Craig Locicero SpiralArms and Forbidden
6. Erin Grupp Co-Owner of Rockbar Theater
Contestant had to prove there chops in front of the judges and then see if they can compete with Satan and his Demon band. In standard “Devil could care less style” Satan did everything he could to trip up the contestants by changing genres, speeds and styles on the fly.
Warren DeMartini was quoted saying “Putting guitar players to the test on different genres and the ability to jam and create on melodies on the move is something missing from todays playing, so it was great to see guitar players having to think on their feet”
Those guitarist able to make through the maze of shredding go on to the head to head competition with Satan. Till finally the winner is crowned and Satan lays down his guitar and walks off stage in defeat!
Jake E Lee was on hand to say “ I was looking for guitar players to not just get up there and play fast but to hold that one note with feeling, conviction and vibrato”
As guitar players hit the stage to prove themselves it became more evident that the talent on the stage of the local Bay area guitar players was in high form and the judges has there work cut out for them.
Eddie Trunk noted that the “Demon Rock Off at Rockbar was a great showcase for emerging guitar talent. It was competitive while also supportive and encouraging to the various players and a hell of a lot of fun! Great event in a great venue that I was proud to be a part of”.
50 contestants entered and over the course of the night were widdled down to one!!! Bobby Connally was crowned the VICTOR!! Able to hold his own through 15 different genre changes thrown at him as well as on his own solo performances!!
Rockbartheater plans on hosting another Demon Rock Off event this January 2016. Guitar players get practicing…
